METHOD OF CHANGING KINETICS OF ISOLATION OF RADIOGENIC HELIUM-3 FROM SOLID PHASE OF METAL TRITIDE

摘要

FIELD: nuclear engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to manufacture of neutron generators and to storage of hydrogen isotopes in bound state. As tritium-bearing metal, transition metals whose hydrides exhibit metallic properties are used, e.g. Sc, Er, or Zr. These metals are alloyed by Ti, Al, Nb, or Sn atoms. Storage time of alloyed tridides is increased by 1,3 times as compared to non- alloyed tridides. EFFECT: increased service time of devices employing transition metal tritides. 2 cl, 3 dwg, 14 tbl
